KNKX All Things Considered host Ed Ronco talks with House Speaker Laurie Jinkins during a live conversation at the Temple of Justice on Jan. 13 in Olympia.

Hours after she was sworn in on a historic first day of the 2020 legislative session Jan. 13, House Speaker Laurie Jinkins, D-Tacoma, talked live with KNKX All Things Considered host Ed Ronco. It was part of our special KNKX Connects to Olympia broadcast in the Temple of Justice on Jan. 13. They discussed legislative priorities, including gun-control bills, what her swearing in means for representation in state government — and some pretty neat bipartisan socks.  

Ed Ronco is a former KNKX producer and reporter and hosted All Things Considered for seven years.
